Advertise on podcast: The Pick 3 Show

It seems obvious that the PickMaster General was in somewhat of a maudlin mood this week and, therefore, challenged his/her panel to reveal the top 3 movies that made them cry. Gareth is a confirmed movie weeper, Andy tears up to animated movies, whilst Martin rarely admits to feeling emotion let alone crying. However, today's podcast may well show our listeners a different side to the panel, particularly as to whether Martin has tear ducts? Join the debate via our social portals or by e mail [email protected] where gareth collates the correspondence from around the world. Enjoy the episode.

We all like to believe that we are smart enough to avoid fads/trends that in hindsight look pretty stupid, but the sad reality is that nearly all of us fall for some of them. The PMG challenged the panel, plus special guest Ashley, to dig into their archives and own up to the times that they simply followed the crowd into some dubious fad. Let us have your own memories of fads you briefly followed via our social portals or by using our direct e mail account [email protected]

All of us watch TV, so popular shows compete for ways to retain viewers from season to season. The "cliffhanger" principle is regularly employed to ensure that viewers 'need to know' curiosity draws big numbers when a new season launches. Join Martin, Gareth & Andy as they debate the best tv cliffhangers from their own viewing experiences.

The PickMaster general threw the panel a home fixture this week by asking for their top three choices of Premier League players (past and present) To counteract an obvious Liverpool bias on the panel (Gareth & Andy) and a limited football knowledge (Martin), the PMG drafted in an old friend of the show, Ashley Parks, to bring some balance. In an animated discussion the most surprising digression to Fantasy football occurred and led to a debate on the complicated rules of the MFL (Malone Fantasy League) and Ashley's experiences dealing with a ruthless opponent in Dolores Santiago Calatrava.....

A little bonus episode focusing on listener feedback to the topic, top 3 times you were truly scared. A selection of stories from some of the Pick 3 listeners, and it is fair to say that there are a few belters in here. Let us have your opinions via our social portals on X, Instagram, BlueSky or via our dedicated e mail [email protected] We love hearing from our listeners.

Everybody experiences fear differently and almost all of us have stories about times we were pretty unnerved. When the PMG sent down this topic the panel looked back at the times when we had experienced fear and today's episode relives some of those memories. Join Martin, Gareth & Andy as they face their fears. Interact with the podcast via our social portals on X, Instagram, BlueSky or send us your own opinions via our e mail [email protected]

This week things get a little more personal as the PickMaster General decided to quiz the panel on "Ambitions" that they still wanted to try and achieve. This caught Gareth in a more emotional and vulnerable mood than normal but, luckily for him, the Pick 3 panel is a close knit and supportive team who picked him up off the floor and wiped his tears away. Plenty of diversity in today's choices but also a topic that unnerved our normally vocal listener group. Interact with the podcast via our dedicated e mail account at [email protected] and let us have your thoughts on ambitions or topics that you would like to see us debate in a future episode.

After a pretty intense stretch of topics and debates, the PMG decided to give Andy's brain a break and suggest a discussion more in line with his skillset. Martin & Gareth enjoyed watching their "colleague" Andy, with less of a frown than normal, as he settled into one of his favourite entertainment genres. Let us have your comments and choices via our dedicated e mail account (monitored 24/7 by Gareth) at [email protected] Remember, there are no wrong choices but there are plenty of dodgy opinions!

Most of our listeners would be lost with access to the internet but not everything has improved because of the worldwide web. The PickMaster general challenged his/her panel with debating 'what was better before the internet was easily accessible'. Anyone under 30 will struggle to imagine such a world, but those of us who have lived through this technological revolution have memories of a more carefree existence without information overload. So what was better before the internet, our panel give you their opinions. Interact with the podcast via our social portals on X & BlueSky or by e mail the [email protected]

The PMG has returned from his/her holiday and was obviously disappointed by some of it's elements, because the Pick 3 panel were immediatley ordered to debate the most underwhelming attractions they had ever visited. Join Martin, Gareth & Andy as they debate, disagree and dismiss each others choices, albeit there are no wrong answers on the Pick 3 Show, but as you will see there are some dodgy opinions. Let us have your thoughts via our social portals on X & BlueSky or via e mail [email protected]

Over the years we have all had our favourite products and nothing is more annoying than the manufacturers discontinuing items we still want to be able to buy. The PMG challenged the Pick 3 Panel to select the their top three items they want to see brought back. Our listeners had a wide range of opinions on this subject.

Gareth was humming a fairly tuneless 80's minor pop hit in close proximity to the PMG's open window. Shortly thereafter he/she sent down this week's topic for panel debate, "hit songs we truly hate", so we can only assume that Gareth had triggered an adverse reaction with his musical rendition. Join Martin, Gareth & Andy as they discuss the songs that, despite hit status, they regard as the equivalent to dragging your nails down a blackboard.

The PickMaster General needed some panel input regarding overrated movies presumably as he/she anticipated some wet summer days with his/her little pickles. Setting such a challenge to Martin, Gareth and Andy was deemed a little too risky so PMG again drafted an authoritarian figure to keep the captive panel in line. A warm welcome back to 'Queen Victoria' as she is tasked with leading the panel to deliver some cohesive thoughts. Let us have your choices via our social portals or via e mail [email protected]

The Pick 3 panel openly admit that there are three decades of separation between them, but will they agree on the signs that show them getting older? Andy still believes that he is youthful, Gareth wants to believe that he drinks from the fountain of youth whilst Martin is coming to terms with approaching life differently whilst collecting his State pension. Nobody knows what age the PickMaster General is, but today's topic might give us a clue. See if you agree with the panel's top 3 choices of signs that show you are getting older, let us know what you think via our social portals on X, Instagram, BlueSky or via our e mail address [email protected]

It appears that the PickMaster General was having an existential crisis when selecting this weeks topic for the Pick 3 panel. What would you do if you had the power to make time stand still? The panel all approached this one a little differently albeit it was Martin who seemed to struggle most with this abstract concept, to the point that it appeared to irritate him, much to the delight of Gareth & Andy.
